[Footnote 609: _Historia Ventorum_, Ellis and Spedding, ii, p. 51; cf. _Nov. Org._ ii. 12. The source of the Mount Athos legend is certainly Aristotle's _Problemata_ (xxvi. 39), while that for Olympus is either Solinus, or more probably Bruno, in the _Cena de le Cenere_ (Lag. 167. 13). Bruno, on his part, refers to Alexander of Aphrodisias; it is not to be found, however, in Alexander's commentary upon the Meteorologica (E. and S. refer to Ideler, i. 148).] [Footnote 610: _Nov. Org._ i. aph. 45.] [Footnote 611: _Ib._ ii. 9.] [Footnote 612: _De Augm._ i. p. 466; cf. Bruno's _Cena_, Lag. 177. 27. Elsewhere, however, Bacon condemns the habit of "some of the moderns," who have attempted to base natural philosophy upon the first chapter of Genesis and the Book of Job, and other sacred scriptures.--_Nov. Org._ i. ax. 65.] [Footnote 613: _De Augm._ i. 479, and Bruno, _passim_.] [Footnote 614: _Nov. Org._ i. ax. 84; cf. 77 (the argument _ex consensu_), and _De Augm._ i. p. 458. In their note E. and S. refer to Esdras, c. 14, v. 10: "the world has lost its youth, and the times begin to wax old"; and to Casmann's _Problemata Marina_ (1596), as well as to Bruno's _Cena_ (1584).] [Footnote 615: _Nov.

It was a scholastic distinction; E. and S. illustrate it from Thomas Aquinas' _Summa Theologiae_, I^{ma}, _q._ 45 (E. and S. i. p. 259).] [Footnote 620: _Ib._ ii. 1.] [Footnote 621: _E.g. ib._ i. 66, where are added "the appetite a thing has to return to its natural dimension or extension (viz. Elasticity), the appetite to conjugate with masses of its own kind, as the dense to the sphere of the earth, the rare to the sphere of the sky." These are described as really "physical" kinds of motion, not, as Aristotle's are, "logical" and "scholastical."
